Norred and Fisher

Ashley Vaughan Fisher and Clayton Joseph "Trey" Norred III were married at 6 o'clock in the evening on Saturday, October 5th at the First United Methodist Church in Monroe.

The former Miss Fisher is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Ray Fisher of Monroe. Her grandparents are the late Dr. Catherine Dean Vaughan and Mr. George Byron Vaughan and the late Lehman Earl Fisher and Juanita Terrell Fisher, all of Monroe. Mr. Norred is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Norred Jr. of West Monroe and Mr. Michael Pardue and the late Vicki Gresham Pardue of Jonesboro, La. His grandparents are the late Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Joseph Norred Sr. of Dodson, La. and Susie Acklin Storey of Shreveport, La.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore an exquisite slipper length gown of ivory silk taffeta featuring a strapless sweetheart neckline accented with a wide band of pearls and crystal jewels. Appliques of pearls and rhinestone crystals enhanced the A-line bodice with deep pleats, all which swept gracefully into a chapel length train. Ashley wore her grandmother's pearl necklace and a two-strand pearl bracelet, featuring a sapphire and diamond clasp, given to her as a wedding gift by her parents. The bride chose a cathedral length veil of imported sheer ivory illusion with silk edging. She carried a bouquet of Free Spirit roses, orange mambo spray roses, fall mini calla lilies, and peach hypericum berries. The stems were wrapped with antique white ribbon and French knotted.

Allison Lauren Fisher, sister of the bride, served as maid of honor. Other bridesmaids were Kelli Daniel, Jessica Rainwater Grigson, Meagan Crump Ingles, Megan Medley McLaughlin, Melinda Robinson, and Amber Hughes Terry. They wore navy, full length, one shoulder bodice, satin ball gowns accented with fan details. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of similar roses and berries with peach enhancements and alstroemeria lilies tied with navy ribbon. Caroline Bryant served as the flower girl.

Ryan Grigson served as best man. Groomsmen were Jeff Bennett, David Bryant, Russ Francis, Gary Hodnett, Doug Hutchinson, and Adam Pardue, brother of the groom. Gavin Jackson and Gresham Jackson, nephews of the groom, were ring bearers.

Megan Crump Ingles and Leigh Norred Jackson, sister of the groom, were scripture readers. Registry and program attendants were Annie Stinson and Mattie Lou Stinson, cousins of the bride.

The double ring ceremony was officiated by the Reverend Jonathan Bevil and the Reverend Rick Crandall, who performed the wedding nuptials. Music was provided by organist, Mr. Hunt Neely.

After the ceremony, a reception was held at Bayou DeSiard Country Club decorated lavishly in a palette of greens, peaches, and various shades of orange. Seasonal berries, pumpkins, stock lilies, roses, tulips, and elaeagnus filled various candelabras. The bride's mother's collection of Waterford vases were interspersed with a menagerie of candles and votives. Guests dined, while being entertained by the band "Meet the Press" from Jackson, Missi. The Bride's six-tier wedding cake consisted of layers of strawberry, lemon, and almond cakes with cream cheese icing and adorned with a cascading trail of white roses and green berries. The six-tier triple chocolate groom's cake was assembled to resemble Trey's golf bag. Accenting the groom's cake were "stacks of golf balls" made of red velvet cake.

Ashley is a graduate of Neville High School. She received her Bachelors Degree in Business Management from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, where she was a member of Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority. Ashley is currently a member of the Junior League of Monroe and is employed as an Account Manager at Verizon Wireless.

Trey is a graduate of Weston High School. He attended the University of Louisiana at Monroe, where he received his Bachelors Degree in Insurance and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. Trey is currently involved as a member of the Monroe Jaycees and is employed as the Vice President of Norred Fire Systems in Monroe.
